Binance Coin formed a symmetrical triangle (blue) on the chart, a pattern that can see the price break toward either direction. The OBV also showed a series of lower highs and higher lows.
Continued buying volume could see the price catch up to demand, and drive BNB up to $29. Another level of resistance in the vicinity was $29.75, highlighted by the Fibonacci Retracement tool.
A close below the pattern could see BNB head toward the $26.7 region.
IOTA

IOTA broke out of a descending channel a few days ago and fell short of testing resistance at $0.288.
The descending trendline was a short-term target for IOTA bulls to flip, but IOTA straddled support at $0.25. Moreover, its momentum could be shifting in favor of the bears.
The RSI dropped beneath the neutral 50 line and retested it as resistance. If IOTA closed a trading session beneath the support, it could fuel a wave of selling pressure that would take IOTA to the next level of support at $0.235 in the coming days.

BAT was trading above support at $0.2, and the MACD formed a bullish crossover above the zero line for the crypto-asset. This signal could see BAT rise to the next level of supply at $0.21.
A hidden bullish divergence was also at play, as the momentum indicator formed lower lows while the price made higher lows.
In conclusion, a rise in price by nearly 5% could play out over the next few trading sessions.
